I really loved that band with Isbel in it. They had a real snarl to their music. Their first performance on Conan's Late Night show legit scared me.
I feel like this should be bigger news on this app.
The @drivebytruckers.bsky.social and Jason Isbell are reuniting for their first performance together in 18 years

My version of this when I watch an old boxing match. You'll see him ringside and it's jarring.

I've been reading some critiques of Democrats. I'm not going to say those are wrong. They got us by the balls. They know we can't let people suffer and they use it against us. Please detail with your criticism, how you were able to be succesfull against someone that takes joy in others calamity.

Please stop asking that blonde lady all these serious questions. What are going to get out catching her saying the wrong thing? I think we’re just supposed to enjoy her the way you enjoy a pretty picture.

Gambling has to me been an excuse to get in trouble for no reason. Every NBA player of note should be worried about a piece like the one linked here. You are going to have your business aired out by someone you shared a table with at a secret game.
Before I was an NBA writer, I was a pro poker player for 12 years. I played against many pro athletes, including Ty Lue a few times.
Here's a snapshot of that period of my life, and thoughts on Lue's alleged connection to Chauncey Billups' private game:

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

If you’re the kind of person that is worried about the rise of socialism, in this country. You need to make sure you at least support politicians that ARE NOT giant piles of human garbage. Mamdani presented himself as a nice person, more than anything else. Next to Cuomo, the difference was stark.

I just read a "pop the clutch" reference in another space. It reminded me of my first truck. I was broke and needed a new battery. So for two days I parked my Ranger on top of a hill to make popping the clutch easier. You can't have fun like that anymore!

I'm not into the MLB like I was as a kid. As a NBA fan, I'm curious. Is there much hand wringing about the best baseball player in the world, not being from this country?

I notice that the people that I know that have been loud and proud about the president, not even bring up the "peace deal".
Remember the "why won't protesters thank Trump for bringing peace to the Middle East" news cycle? That was fun.

I need to make a stand here. I don't find any of that AI BS, interesting at all. MLK Jr. showing off his diamonds at a jewlery store? Cool, nice work. IDGAF. Don't send it to me. I need to find a way to block that shit on all the platforms I use.

Dudes that work for me posted some terrible AI Motown\Hip-Hop remix, saying that it sounds more soulful than artists do now. I'm his boss so I couldn't tell him how lame that take is, and how he's a sucker for spreading that BS. Anyways, here's a new cat with an old cat
